Looking at the image attached, we can see the assumed sales of the Chewy Candy Company for its new candy bar in Manila and Seoul. Setting up the given condition for separate branches, we clearly see that during the 6th month, the total sales in Manila first exceeded the cumulative total sales in Seoul.

Part A: About 0.21
We will put the wanted outcome (yellow pieces of candy) over the total number of possible outcomes (total pieces of candy).
About 0.21
Part B: About 50
First we will do the same as we did with the yellow pieces of candy, wanted outcomes over possible outcomes.
0.25
Now, we will multiply the total 200 pieces by 0.25 since 0.25 of them are estimated to be green.
200 * 0.25 = 50
I estimate about 50 of the pieces to be green.
